Vertebrate Niche Diversification 301
This is my habitat. I am a highly developed intelligence, an ungainly bipedal primate of germanic origin whose existence today once depended entirely on the stochastic persistence of a worm-like Cambrian detritovore. 500 million merciless years later, descendant of a primordial ooze, I occupy this ecological niche. Some other poor homonid will soon replace me in this seasonal successional pattern so characteristic of university dormitories. One more week and I will be free!
